Welp, that's it... Been meaning to tear apart and redo my Dengar backpack anyway,
Great stuff, Seb. I always wondered why you never tried your hand at a few SW figures. Boba, the Sandtrooper and Dengar all look fantastic.

Seb, what base body are you using for Dengar? A TT? I have mine on a Pro due to the bulk of the outfit but the backpack is so damn heavy it can fold the figure backwards from the weight.
Also, what are you using to achieve that rusty look on the pack and armor? Just a dark tan layerd over a slughtly lighter color?
Also, I know it’s your own interpretation but Dengar’s head wraps are a little bulkier, almost like a turban, instead of just a basic bandage wrap. Just my opinion, of course, but I think a little more bulk up top could really make this an off the charts piece.

He is on a narrow shoulder true type. He stand just fine. THe backpack I made isn't that heavy so the balance is actually quiet perfect.
FOr the head wraps I wanted to make it less turban but a bit more like a hood. I think it looks a bit less ridiculous and take away that diaper look he has. If that makes sense.
BUT I will try to add more bulk at the top to see how it looks.

The weathering on the helmet is outstanding!
Jesus... He looks better here than he did in the movie.

Diaper head never looked better, great job Seb. That really is the perfect sculpt for him.

The way you have it looks more along the lines of his look in ROTJ, though he's barely seen.
He has more of a Boba Fett blaster, no bandages but a hood and Stormtrooper chest armor on his back instead of a backpack.
Is that a light metalic drybrushing you have on the armor?
Gonna swap mine over to a NSTT and rework the pack. Thanks for the inspiration, Seb! Looking forward to seeing more.

Some more progress on my Mythos Fett.
Everything is form the marmit except the vest which is from SSC. Everything has been weathered to hell.
First pics of my Mythos Obi-wan.
I will use the alec mc guiness head (the real obi-wan) and will resculpt the hair to be a but fuller and longer.
The backpack isn't finished I'm working on the pieces of armour.
and here's the begin of the Mythos Maul.
The body isn't painted but is dye. That way I don't have to worry about paint rub on the red and in the joints.
But that must say that I couldn't make any mistake on the tat's.
It was a real pain in the *** and I try my best to make a nice symmetry.

The mythos characters are so well suited to your style of realistic weathering. I always say your weathering disguises the scale. Looks 1:1 so often. Mythos Ben is already looking insane.
Give me that Maul body. Yes. Give it to me. Now.

Excellent work on Maul, just out of interest what did you use to dye the body, looking at doing a similar thing for another sith I have plans for.

Re: ELVIS1976 - SW custom's - Dengar - Mythos Boba Fett•Obi-wan•Darth Maul
I use Dylon dye. DOn't know if it works better than the other but that is the one i'm using.
First you have to disassemble the body completely. You need to remove the vinyl toros, mid section, biceps, forearms and hands pegs.
If you don't do this you will end up with parts of the body that are not completely dye.
Boild some water and add the dye and a bit of acetone. 3 cup of coffee.
Put the body parts in there and leave them for 30 min approx.
Remove, let it dry.
